Revisiting signatures of thermal axions in nonstandard cosmologies

Paola Arias, Nicolás Bernal, Jacek K. Osiński +2

We revisit the formation of a thermal population of hadronic axions in nonstandard cosmologies, in light of the recent developments in obtaining continuous and smooth interaction r…

Dark Matter from a Radiative Inverse Seesaw Majoron Model

Cesar Bonilla, A. E. Cárcamo Hernández, Bastián Díaz Sáez +2

We propose a Majoron-like extension of the Standard Model with an extra global -symmetry where neutrino masses are generated through an inverse seesaw mechanism at the 1-lo…

Dark Matter in a bi-metric universe

Carlos Maldonado, Fernando Mendez

We study the possibility to describe dark matter in a model of the universe with two scale factors and a non-standard Poisson bracket structure characterized by the deformation par…

Neutrino flavor mixing with approximate - symmetry within the low-scale minimal linear seesaw model

Ernesto A. Matute

Neutrino flavor mixing is explained within the recently proposed low-scale minimal linear seesaw model of neutrino mass generation, a variant of the standard linear seesaw led by a…

Dark Matter Axions in the Early Universe with a Period of Increasing Temperature

Paola Arias, Nicolás Bernal, Jacek K. Osiński +1

We consider the production of axion dark matter through the misalignment mechanism in the context of a nonstandard cosmological history involving early matter domination by a scala…

Low-scale minimal linear seesaw model for neutrino mass and flavor mixing

Ernesto A. Matute

We consider an extension of the Standard Model with three right-handed (RH) neutrinos and a Dirac pair of extra sterile neutrinos, odd under a discrete symmetry, in order to…

New opportunities for axion dark matter searches in nonstandard cosmological models

Paola Arias, Nicolás Bernal, Dimitrios Karamitros +3

We study axion dark matter production from a misalignment mechanism in scenarios featuring a general nonstandard cosmology. Before the onset of Big Bang nucleosynthesis, the energy…

Frozen-in fermionic singlet dark matter in non-standard cosmology with a decaying fluid

Paola Arias, Dimitrios Karamitros, Leszek Roszkowski

We perform a detailed study of dark matter production via freeze-in under the assumption that some fluid dominates the early Universe before depositing its energy to the plasma cau…

Hidden Photon Dark Matter Interacting via Axion-like Particles

Paola Arias, Ariel Arza, Joerg Jaeckel +1

We investigate a scenario where the dark matter of the Universe is made from very light hidden photons transforming under a -symmetry. In contrast to the usual situation, ki…

Neutrino mass generation from the perspective of presymmetry

Ernesto A. Matute

The Standard Model (SM) with one right-handed neutrino per generation is revisited with presymmetry being the global symmetry of an electroweak theory of leptons and q…

Ultraviolet Freeze-in and Non-Standard Cosmologies

Nicolás Bernal, Fatemeh Elahi, Carlos Maldonado +1

A notable feature of UV freeze-in is that the relic density is strongly dependent on the highest temperatures of the thermal bath, and a common assumption is that the relevant 'hig…

Reconstructing Non-standard Cosmologies with Dark Matter

Paola Arias, Nicolás Bernal, Alan Herrera +1

Once dark matter has been discovered and its particle physics properties have been determined, a crucial question rises concerning how it was produced in the early Universe. If its…

Anapole Dark Matter Interactions as Soft Hidden Photons

Paola Arias, Jorge Gamboa, Natalia Tapia

We propose a model where the anapole appears as a hidden photon that is coupled to visible matter through a kinetic mixing. For low momentum where is the cuto…

Establishing the Dark Matter Relic Density in an Era of Particle Decays

Carlos Maldonado, James Unwin

If the early universe is dominated by an energy density which evolves other than radiation-like the normal Hubble-temperature relation is broken and dark matter reli…

Measuring the Boiling Point of the Vacuum of Quantum Electrodynamics

Anthony Hartin, Andreas Ringwald, Natalia Tapia

It is a long-standing non-trivial prediction of quantum electrodynamics that its vacuum is unstable in the background of a static, spatially uniform electric field and, in principl…

Parametric Resonance in Quantum Electrodynamics Vacuum Birefringence

Ariel Arza, Ricardo Gabriel Elias

Vacuum magnetic birefringence is one of the most interesting non-linear phenomena in quantum electrodynamics because it is a pure photon-photon result of the theory and it directly…

Birefringence and hidden photons

Ariel Arza, Jorge Gamboa

We study a model where photons interact with hidden photons and millicharged particles through a kinetic mixing term. Particularly, we focus in vacuum birefringence effects and we…

Generalized Dirac duality and CP violation in a two photon theory

P. Arias, A. K. Das, J. Gamboa +1

A kinetic mixing term, which generalizes the duality symmetry of Dirac, is studied in a theory with two photons (visible and hidden). This theory can be either CP conserving or CP…
